Are you practicing as an inferior, submissive Acupuncturist - relying on or accepting another practitioner’s diagnosis in determining how you can treat your patient?
Are you relying on a diagnosis from a chiropractor, a radiologist, a PT, or the a PCP? You may be disempowering yourself and practicing with a lack of confidence. These lead to subpar care for your patients.
Don’t take anything any other practitioner says as gospel, including a diagnosis for YOUR patient’s MSK/pain problem.
Information obtained from another practitioner/healthcare provider may be relevant in some regards, but it should NEVER guide your treatment. YOU are the one who assesses and determines what the patient needs. Not anyone else. When you treat based on a “diagnosis” the patient walks in with, that takes away from your care. YOU determine the best course of care using your tools/skills/knowledge.
Want to get strong assessment and diagnostic skills to more confidently treat your patients? Want to get better results in less time? You’re in the right place on the Locals community!
